Like the key air transport sectors that it serves, Honeywell’s worldview is increasingly shifting eastward as markets in the Middle East and Asia continue to show strong growth. And the emphasis of the U.S. group’s technological development work remains focused on trying to ensure that traffic growth can be achieved without compromising safety.

“It used to be the case that 80 percent of customers, suppliers and manufacturers were in the United States. Aircraft were designed to fly U.S. coast-to-coast because that was 80 percent of what was needed,” said Paolo Carmassi, the company’s president for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. In the last 10 years, however, the market has started to shift eastward at an unprecedented rate, presenting a range of challenges and opportunities.
